I have meanwhile received a construction description for the offer from the local general contractor and I am not quite sure what to make of the heating system:
Execution with a geothermal heat pump. Installation of a Viessmann heat pump or similar.
Power according to heating load calculation. Deep drilling according to calculation by a specialist office.
Supply and installation of a 390-liter hot water storage tank and a 400-liter buffer tank.
Execution with thermal insulation according to heating system regulations. The heating pipes will be laid in the screed insulation, visible in the boiler room.
In the living rooms on the ground floor and upper floor, a underfloor heating system with individual room controls will be installed.
At first, I find the hot water storage tank quite large for 3 people, but okay, it can certainly be dimensioned smaller if that results in financially relevant differences. The bigger question mark I see is the buffer tank and whether it is needed at all. I did a bit of research but the articles I find on the internet usually relate to air-water heat pumps. Overall, it is considered rather unnecessary with underfloor heating, and unlike air-water heat pumps, geothermal water-water heat pumps do not have the problem of becoming less efficient once the sun goes down in winter. Is there any good reason to install a buffer tank with geothermal heating?
